    Scheyer Being Pursued by Italian Team

    La Virtus Bologna is showing a strong interest. And Duke gets a shout out in French: "très prestigieuse Université de Duke"

    Here's a more detailed story from Bologna:

    I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this, but the first article is in French and the second one is in Italian. Neither of those are English...

    I was able to use Google translator on the second one - and I would post it but I'm not even messing with international copyright laws (or can I?).

    It's super easy - just click "translate" on the google toolbar if you have it.

    Google translator

    Maybe it does better in French, but Google Translator has a ways to go in its Thai/English translations. I wanted to know what my Thai friend had posted, and here's what I got:

    Patients have a fever, your heart wants to Author.
    Mellow out, it inspired the weary head.
    Store food in elegant look gorgeous.
    Air pressure machine, but it shook the meet.

    You can't argue with that.

    I absolutely agree with this. No one can argue about the conclusions.

    The Google translator has a long ways to go before it gets a "C" -- syntax is awful

    I'm working in Germany for a few months and have found that it is pretty useful for getting the general gist of things, especially for reading labels and packaging, or emails. I've never had anything quite as bad as the Thai example. That probably has do do with German, French and Italian being considered a much higher priority.

    Too Bad ...

    Too bad that Bologna isn't in the 2010-11 Euroleague. Would have been fun to see Jon vs. Trajan.

    I really hate Virtus Bologna (especially its president Mr.Sabatini, a not funny clown) and I really hope Jon doesn't land in that team!

    Not to mention Bologna is an awful, awful city to live in. No character whatsoever.
